TV collects the info on all the messages running around a distributed network and then figures out where everything is going. It draws a map and shows you what messages are going where, what the thruput and response times are and so forth. Bristol had done a lot of collaborative work with Mercury (who was an OEM customer). It became so useful to Mercury and their clients, that after the Mercury acquisition settled with HP, they immediately turned to acquiring Bristol. I think it is a good marriage - HP is getting a great technical team, and with the breadth of the HP/Mercury market presence, Bristol will finally get the wide distribution it deserves. It will be a hot product.<BR/><BR/>One note of disclosure - I am on the Bristol Board.<BR/><BR/>Bob BickelBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989147278616251322noreply@blogger.com
